The KEY with percents is understanding the basic formula Portion = Rate (%age) x Base .
Here you're given a postion of 690 and a base of 1479.
Rearranging the above formula to solve for the Rate would give you: Rate = Portion / Base. But since this answer would be in the form of a decimal, we need to multiply by 100 to turn it into a percent.
So all you'd need to do is divide 690 by 1479, and then multiply this by 100, and add a percent sign at the end.

Think "percent over 100 equals 'is' over 'of,'" and solve the proportion.
[690 is] [what percent] [of 1479]?
[percent] / 100 = [is] / [of]
p / 100 = 690 / 1479. Solve for p.
p = 69000 / 1479
p = approx. 46.653144%
[789 is] [what percent] [of 1479]?
p / 100 = 789 / 1479. Solve for p. Do it the same way as the first one.

To answer X is what percent of Y, divide X by Y, and multiply by 100.
Example: 120 is what percent of 600? Well, 120/600 = .2, and .2*100=20, so the answer is 20%.

Learn math and then you'll now. C'mon that is so simple. Anyone capable of typing those numbers should be able to calculate a percentage. It would probably take you about 30 sec. of actual reading to find out how to do that. This is the next generation to lead the world huh? We are doomed.
